Answer:
2 imaginary roots
Step-by-step explanation:
The discriminate is the portion of the quadratic equation under the square root
D = b^2 - 4ac
D = 8^2 - 4(2)(16)
D = 64 - 128
D = -64
Since the discriminate is negative the square root will be imaginary
and there will be 2 of them
2 imaginary roots
Answer:
x₁ = 3,29296875
x₂ = 3,276659786
x₃ = 3,279420685
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a recurrent relationship between xₙ₊₁ and xₙ
To get x₁, write the formula with n=0:
Then fill in what you know, x₀=3.2. This gives you x₁.
Repeat for n=1,... and so forth.
Excel can do this effectively, see picture.
